你已將我的舉哀變為舞蹈，將我的麻衣脫下，又將喜樂給我束腰，

當永恆主使你脫離痛苦、煩擾、和勉強作的苦工，而得安息的日子，

因此猶大人、住在無牆之城的鄉下人、都以亞達月十四日作為歡樂宴飲的日子，作為休假日，彼此贈送禮物。

不過還要我們記得窮人；這件事也正是我一向竭力想法子要作的。

我實實在在地告訴你們，你們必哭泣哀號，而世人卻要歡喜；你們必憂愁，但你們的憂愁必變為喜樂。婦人生產的時候有憂愁，因為她的鐘點到了；既生了孩子，就不再記念那苦難了，因為歡喜有人生到世界上來。那麼你們現今呢、也有憂愁；但我要再見你們，你們的心就歡喜了；並且你們的喜樂、誰也不能奪去。

其實你們只要把裏邊的施捨給人，那麼一切對你們就都潔淨了。

正月十三日王的書記們就被召了來，照哈曼一切所吩咐的，寫下了勅令、給王的眾藩臣，給一省一省的巡撫，給一族一族的首領；一省一省用自己的文字，一族一族用自己的方言；奉亞哈隨魯王的名寫的，又用王的打印戒指蓋上了印的。詔書由跑文書的人經手送到王的各省，說要在一日之間、在十二月、就是亞達月、十三日，將所有的猶大人、無論老少幼小或婦女、全都消滅屠殺滅盡，並且奪取他們的資財作為掠物。

信的人都在一處，凡物共有。他們賣了田產家業，分給眾人、照人所需要的。並且同心合意，天天恆心專務於殿裏的敬拜，又在家中擘餅，存歡樂坦樸之心分享食物，

我的心哪，你要祝頌永恆主；不可忘記他的一切恩待：

摩西對人民說：『你們要記念這一天，你們從埃及為奴之家出來的這一天，因為永恆主用他手的大權能、將你們從這裏領出去；有酵之物都不可喫。你們出去、是在亞筆月這一日出去的。將來永恆主領你們進迦南人、赫人、亞摩利人、希未人、耶布斯人之地，就是他向你祖宗起誓應許給你之地，流奶與蜜之地，那時你要在這一個月奉行以下這事奉禮。你要喫無酵餅七天；第七天、舉行向永恆主守的節。這七天之中、要喫無酵餅；在你四境內、不可見有發過酵之物在你那裏，也不可見有酵在你那裏。當那一天，你要告訴你的兒子說：「這是因為永恆主在我出埃及的時候為我行的事。」

哀慟的人有福啊！因為他們必得安慰。

他又對他們說：『你們去喫肥美的，喝甘甜的，將祭肉分兒送給那不能豫備的；因為今天是我們的主的聖日；你們不要憂愁，因為靠永恆主而得的喜樂、就是你們的力量。』於是利未人使眾民安靜下來，說：『今天是聖日；你們要安然自在，不要憂愁。』眾民都去喫喝，也將祭肉分兒送給人，大大歡喜作樂，因為他們明白所教訓他們的話。

當那日子你必說：『永恆主啊，我要稱謝你；因為你雖曾向我發怒，你的怒氣卻已轉消；你已安慰了我了。『看哪，上帝是拯救我的；我要倚靠，我不懼怕；因為永恆主是我的力量，我的詩歌，也成了拯救我的。』
